Do you biamp your B&Ws or other comparable brands?

Thanks guys.

I am using a 5 channel 250watt amplifier. I believe it is large enough to power the 803s, but I have been told that sending more power to the speaker with my current amp using biamping would improve the sound, especially at lower volumes. The matching is less of a concern here as i am using the same amp for everything.

Is bypassing the b&w crossover easy? Sounds complicated.

Regarding centers, I may get a different center as my cabinet isn't tall enough to house the tweeter for the matching center.

If I do not end up biamping, should I at least biwire?

I would like to biamp as I will be able to better utilize my amp. Otherwise, I'm wasting 3 channels of power in stereo mode, as opposed to just 1. But, I don't need to do biamp just for that reason alone. It must be simple enough to do and be worth the effort in sonic quality.

Thanks for the great feedback.

If I did end up biamping, then I was going to use a separate two channel amp for the rear speakers.

Your insight about the a51 offering more power with only two channels in use is priceless. In that case, I don't feel the need to biamp at all.

This may be a dumb question, but since all five inputs to the amp are connected to the preamp, do I need to do anything (setting, etc) so the amp knows only two channels of audio are being sent? Does it matter which channels I use for fronts, center and rears.

Re: biwire, I guess i will just use regular speaker cable and use the wire jumpers that come with he 803ds.

Thanks a ton.

Thanks again. Love this site!

Thanks Manoterror.

For now, I'm just going to stick with the biwire option using just one output from my amp. They already sound amazing!

Thanks again.
